I'm just so sick of it! Honestly, it is just constant, isn't it? I just want to vent a little - apologies. I have a 3.3 year old who changes her mind every five seconds and won't eat things that are mixed together (my son went through the same phase), a 5 yr old who is actually pretty good now (ish), and a husband who sees food only as fuel and is really very fussy compared to me, works long hours, can't be bothered thinking about it when he comes home. I try to prepare food I like sometimes and to enjoy it but the effort of thinking about it all the time just wears me down. I used to like cooking but now it is just another task to get through.
I know everyone has this to a certain extent - I just feel like I wish someone would cook for me, and not just by bunging a pizza in the oven but by actually taking some trouble over it. It is pathetic of me, isn't it - I'm the mum now and should just get on with the job, but I have real trouble with this. Meal planning etc all seem like really good ideas to help with this but I can't quite follow through with it. It just feels lonesome being the only one to worry about it. I try to homecook and manage quite a lot of the time, and then some days just have to give myself a break and do beans on toast for the kids and worry about us later...but ready meals are so loaded with crap that it makes me feel worse.
I don't know. Sorry - I know loads of people feel like this but sometimes it seems like everyone else just likes swapping recipes and is enjoying this part of the job! I really really really don't anymore. And yes, I do struggle with my moods and this is just one facet of a larger issue - but it is a pretty big facet sometimes.
